A Study on the Effective Follow-up Care Method After Laser Treatment: Focusing on Skin Health Behavior

Recently, women in their 30s and 40s are paying attention to making their skin appear whiter and cleaner through pigmentation treatments such as laser toning. For the effectiveness of the procedure and rapid recovery, follow-up care after the laser procedure is also necessary. Through this study, we tried to find out the efficacy of skin health behavior according to the care method after the laser procedure. Skin health behavior (daily life habits, dietary habits, sleep habits, and the presence or absence of cosmetic health supplements) was compared and analyzed by dividing the study subjects receiving vitamin care, ultrasound care, and cryo care for women in their 30s and 40s into three groups. A total of 300 questionnaires were surveyed for a week from August 5 to August 11, 2022, using PCs and mobile phones, and a total of 300 copies were collected. As a result of the study, ultrasound and cryo care alternately dominated the post-care process evaluation and skin improvement satisfaction, while vitamin care was continuously at the bottom. On the other hand, in terms of skin health behavior, overall, ultrasound, cryo, and vitamin care groups scored high. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that it will become the cornerstone of clinical data to be used in the future by developing a skin whitening program through personalized skin counseling in the practice of hospitals and clinics.

Changes in Daily Life Habits during COVID-19 and Their Transitory and Permanent Effects on Italian University Students’ Anxiety Level

Changes in Daily Life Habits during COVID-19 and Their Transitory and Permanent Effects on Italian University Students’ Anxiety Level

The Influence of Changes in Daily Life Habits and Well-Being on Fatigue Level During COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdown in March 2020 have led to changes in lifestyle and increased levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. This survey examined a number of factors (anxiety state, sleep quality, daily activities, mental load, work-related variables) influencing mental and physical fatigue during lockdown and how these relations have evolved one year later. A cohort of 430 workers and 124 retirees were recruited in April-May 2020 (lockdown period, data set 1), and a subsample (133 workers and 40 retirees) completed the same questionnaire in April-May 2021 (data set 2). Linear regression models showed a significant subjective increase in both physical and mental fatigue in both worker and retiree groups during lockdown, and a supplementary increase in physical fatigue and anxiety level in spring 2021 compared to the lockdown period. During lockdown, anxiety level, concerns about COVID-19, work flexibility, mental load, and sleep metrics were associated with the evolution of fatigue among workers. For retirees, only anxiety and physical activity levels were linked to changes in physical fatigue. In April-May 2021, the only associations which remained significant were those in workers between fatigue and anxiety level and workload. These findings suggest that the increased fatigue levels during the lockdown are likely due to the swift and significant changes in daily routines (such as sleep patterns and work dynamics) and psychological states (including increased anxiety and concerns) prompted by the sanitary crisis. On the other hand, the increase in fatigue observed one year after the beginning of the pandemic seems to result from more psychological factors associated with the health situation.

The Mediating Effects of Social Networks and Wisdom on the Relationship between Lifestyle Habits and Healthy Aging in Older Adults with Chronic Diseases.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the mediating effects of social networks and wisdom on the relationship between lifestyle habits and healthy aging in older adults with chronic diseases. Participants were 120 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and older with at least one chronic disease. Data were collected from elderly people by visiting nursing care worker training centers, senior centers, social gatherings, and home welfare centers in D, G, and S cities, with a questionnaire of lifestyle habits, social networks, wisdom and healthy aging, and general characteristics. There were differences in the degree of healthy aging according to age (F = 3.76, p = 0.026), spousal relationship (t = 3.11, p = 0.002), education (F = 9.08, p < 0.001), number of diseases (F = 8.65, p < 0.001), and economic level (t = -2.45, p = 0.016). The most common diseases among the subjects were hypertension, hyperlipidemia, joint diseases and diabetes mellitus. Social networks (β = 0.46, p < 0.001) and wisdom (β = 0.55, p < 0.001) had partial mediating effects (z = 4.15, p < 0.001; z = 5.11, p < 0.001) on the relationship between subjects' lifestyle habits and healthy aging. To increase the degree of healthy aging of subjects, it is necessary to establish a mediating intervention program that manages to have good lifestyle habits in daily life, increase social networks, and become wise.

Heart Disease Diagnosis Associated with Potential Causative Factors Based on the 2020 Data

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. In order to determine the relationships between heart disease and some potential causing factors, this paper conducted the data analysis based on the survey results from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). By analyzing the correlation index and p-index, the author defined the general health condition, age, and background disease as the potential causative causing factors. At the same time, a logic regression model is applied to explore the relationship between them. It could be found as a result that with age increasing, people will face a higher risk of suffering from heart disease. Also, unhealthy daily life habits (i.e., smoking) would also increase the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, background diseases such as diabetics could also be a potential causative factor.

A qualitative exploration of early childhood teachers' perceptions, experiences, and needs for education for sustainable development

본 연구는 유아교사의 지속가능발전교육에 대한 인식과 유아교육기관에서의 지속가능발전교육 경험 및 요구를 살펴보는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 유아교사 10명과 개별 또는 집단으로 심층 면담을 진행하였다. 면담의 내용은 녹음 및 녹화 후 전사하여 질적 연구의 분석 과정을 거쳐 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아교사들은 지속가능발전교육이 다음 세대가 지구에서 아름다운 환경을 누리며 행복하게 살아갈 수 있도록 하는 교육으로 반드시 필요하나 본인들의 앎이 얕은 수준에 있다고 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 유아교사는 유아교육기관에서 일상생활 속에서 기본생활습관을 지도하며, 자연 속에서 놀이하는 시간을 통해, 다양한 지식을 전달하고 배울 수 있도록 하는 단위 활동을 통해, 가정 및 지역사회와 연계하는 활동을 통해 지속가능발전교육을 경험하고 있다고 하였다. 셋째, 유아교사는 지속가능발전교육을 실천하며 교사의 인식과 이해 부족, 개정 누리과정과의 연결에 대한 혼란, 학부모의 부정적인 인식과 사회적인 지원 부족으로 인한 어려움을 느끼고 있었다. 이에 유아교사는 체계적인 지속가능발전교육 프로그램과 교수 자료, 실질적인 내용의 교사 교육, 사회 전반적인 인식 전환 노력과 지원을 요구하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 지속가능발전교육의 효과적인 실행과 유아교사의 전문성 향상을 위한 토대가 될 것이라 사료된다.The purpose of this study is to examine early childhood teachers' perceptions on Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) and their experiences and needs of ESD in early childhood education institutions. For this, in-depth interviews were conducted with ten early childhood teachers individually or as a group. The contents of the interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed through the process of qualitative research. The finding of the study are as follows. Firstly, early childhood teachers recognized that ESD was necessary for the next generation to dwell in beautiful environment and live happily on the earth, however that their knowledge was at a shallow level. Secondly, early childhood teachers were practicing ESD at early childhood education institutions by teaching basic habits in daily life, through play time in the nature, unit activities conveying and learning various knowledge, and activities connected with home and local communities. Thirdly, while practicing ESD, early childhood teachers felt difficulties from teachers’ lack of awareness and understanding, confusion in affiliating with the revised Nuri Curriculum, parents' negative perception and lack of social support. Accordingly, early childhood teachers were demanding systematic education programs for ESD, teaching materials, teacher education with practical contents, and efforts and support to change the general perception of the society. These results are considered to be the foundation for the effective implementation of ESD and the improvement of the expertise of early childhood teachers.

Are people's daily life habits consistent with their preference for food sustainability labels?

AbstractIdentifying the factors correlating to consumers' preference for sustainability‐labeled food products is essential for developing policies to promote the consumption of food produced in a socially responsible and environmentally friendly manner. Using a representative US consumer sample, this study systematically examines consumers' preferences for different food sustainability labels and investigates whether consumers' life habits in other domains of life are consistent with their food purchasing decisions. We find that among the four food sustainability labels included in our study, consumers have the highest marginal willingness‐to‐pay (MWTP) for United States Department of Agriculture certified organic labels, followed by the nongenetically modified organism, eco‐friendly, and fair‐trade labels. It is evident that daily activities, such as proenvironmental behaviors away from home and physical exercise in everyday life, are correlated to consumers' MWTP for sustainability‐labeled food products. This study provides implications for designing proper strategies to improve sustainable food consumption, including targeting consumers who adopt a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle, such as conducting proenvironmental activities outside home and physical exercise activities in daily life.

Perceived barriers and facilitators for adhering to COVID-19 preventive measures in Chile: a qualitative study in three large cities

BackgroundGlobally, it has been reported that different social determinants of health -structural, sociodemographic, economic, living conditions and cultural factors- may affect opportunities to adhere to prevention measures against SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions around barriers and facilitators for adherence to COVID-19 prevention measures among the adult population residing in three large cities in Chile from a social determinants of health perspective.MethodsQualitative paradigm, multiple case-study design. Online semi-structured interviews were conducted with men and women aged 18 and over from different socioeconomic groups residing in three large cities. For participant recruitment and selection, purposive contacts were made based on community and social media networks, followed by snowball sampling. Saturation was reached at 61 participants, after which a thematic analysis was carried out with the support of AtlasTi software. The Ethics Committee of the Universidad del Desarrollo in Chile approved this study.ResultsThe main perceived barriers to adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures are linked to structural social determinants of health such as income, occupation, gender, access to basic supplies, and housing. Perceived facilitators are the fear of contagion and the incorporation of measures into daily habits. The social communication of preventive measures by health authorities is perceived as punitive, affecting adherence once the fear of contagion decreased in the country. It is also perceived that the recommended preventive measures are disconnected from communities’ cultural practices and people´s identity, as well as affected by gender inequities and socioeconomic conditions that stakeholders in the country do not sufficiently address.ConclusionStudy findings suggest that adherence to preventive measures, such as social distancing, mask use, and hand washing, could be promoted through their incorporation into the daily life habits of people and communities. These measures should consider the structural social determinants that generate multiple barriers to adherence, like poverty, occupational risks, and overcrowding. Socio-cultural dimensions of health and everyday risks need further understanding among the different communities in the country, allowing for differences in viewpoints and practices based on gender, age, place, and social identity.

A data-driven approach to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus through digital health: The Klivo Intervention Program protocol (KIPDM).

Digital therapeutics, an emerging type of medical approach, is defined as evidence-based therapeutic interventions through qualified software programs that help prevent, manage, or treat chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which has high social and economic burden. Klivo, a startup certified by the Brazilian Society of Diabetes, developed the first digital therapeutic product for managing T2DM in Brazil, reaching 21 of 24 states. Klivo has continuously been improving its model of behavior change on the basis of an intensive lifestyle intervention method that addresses individuals' needs-the Klivo Intervention Program for T2DM (KIPDM). To test the most recent version of the KIPDM, we will evaluate the ongoing management of daily life habits in patients with T2DM by measuring clinically significant outcomes. To improve the transparency of further results, here we will present the study protocol and detail the plan for the research project, including the study design and the analysis strategies. The KIPDM will be sponsored by health plans and healthcare provider organizations and will be free for patients (adults aged ≥ 18 years and <65 years; and glycated hemoglobin ≥ 7%). The program will be based on a 6-month management process that will supervise patients remotely. The program will include educational classes via the Klivo app, text messages, or e-mails. Evaluation will include objectively assessing clinical, laboratory, and behavioral outcomes such as health-related quality of life, mental health, medication adherence, and healthcare utilization. For this, validated electronic questionnaires will be available through the Klivo app. The primary outcome will be glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. The secondary outcome will be time in target blood glucose range (TIR) estimated by capillary glycemia. Other outcomes of interest will be evaluated at baseline and stipulated time points (3 and 6 months after the start of the program). KIPDM patients should present improved HbA1c and TIR along the intervention as compared to baseline values. Findings from this study will provide insights into the health improvement of T2DM and other cardiometabolic conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity by using a digital therapeutic strategy. By analyzing the patient's health over time, this study will also contribute to understanding comorbidities associated with this chronic condition in the Brazilian population.

예비부부의 사례 개념화 기반 단회 상담 참여경험에 관한 내러티브 탐구

Objectives The purpose of this study aims to provide basic data on single-session counseling conducted in the clinical field by examining the counseling experience of single-session counseling clients based on case conceptualization and what the experience means in the context of their lives.&#x0D; Methods As a narrative exploration method that can help participants separate problems from themselves and explore exceptional situations outside the problem, this researcher conducted a study on a pair of prospective couples who have experienced single counseling. To this end, after three in-depth video interviews were conducted from June 16, 2021 to November 8, 2021, additional interviews were conducted by phone or text message.&#x0D; Results The results of the study are as follows. First, participants were disappointed, but they participated in counseling more honestly and actively since it was a single counseling. Second, through single counseling, participants increased their self-understanding as well as self-acceptance. Third, as the participant participated in the single consultation, recognized and accepted problems, and decided to try for change, so felt lighthearted. Fourth, through the experience of single counseling, participants were able to have a positive perception of counseling, and if they faced problems that were difficult to solve alone in their daily lives again, they wanted to be consulted again.&#x0D; Conclusions Based on the results of the study, the counseling implications and limitations were presented, and the single counseling experience improved the image of counseling, but it was regrettable to experience the changed results directly by changing one's old habits in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to study so that case conceptualization education is conducted in detail and in detail so that the effect of single counseling can be further improved through counselor training. It can be seen that this study has implications in that it showed how to approach and conduct single counseling in the clinical field.

SLEEPINESS, SOCIAL ANXIETY, AND BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENTS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

ABSTRACT Objective: The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale and the resulting changes in daily life habits have significantly influenced the growth and development of adolescents. Adolescents have been deeply affected in physical, mental, and social aspects, both by COVID-19 itself and its psychological impact. This study aims to assess the sleepiness, social anxiety, and blood pressure status of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: A total of 412 adolescents in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic characteristics and questions related to COVID-19, the Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Scale (CASS), and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). The students' blood pressure was measured in a classroom setting. Results: It was determined that 23.1% of the adolescents participating in the study had experienced COVID-19, and 42.7% of them had family members who had also had COVID-19. It was found that adolescents who had not experienced COVID-19 reported higher levels of emotions such as fear, distress, and sadness (P&lt;0.05). A positive correlation was identified between the sleepiness status of adolescents and their social anxiety (r = 0.368, p = 0.000). The systolic blood pressure of adolescents was found to be 7.3% high-normal and 9.7% high. Diastolic blood pressure was determined to be 3.6% high-normal and 1.7% high. A significant difference in diastolic blood pressure was identified between those who had experienced COVID-19 and those who had not (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it is observed that adolescents experience moderate levels of sleepiness and social anxiety. Hence, adolescents have been affected psychologically and physiologically during the COVID-19 pandemic. The short and long-term effects of the pandemic on adolescents should be monitored and supported.
